whelk Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 What’s this fucking obsession about opening game stats?

Leicester start with a point against Tottenham despite their fan base being by far the most restless Was glancing at the match thread on their forum during the first half, they really don't like most of their team or their new manager. Vardy doing Vardy things though and that's a pretty good point. Spuds lost their way in the second half but even more so after the Bentancur injury.

V.Johnathan.Wilson Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) NGL Watching that game I'd be pretty confident we could beat Tottenham at home as long as we get our ball playing keeper (Steele?). They'll press high but if we could handle the Newcastle Press when they had 11 players we can beat Tottenham's press. From there we get our forwards running in behind on Romero's side as he's quite a bit slower than Van De Ven and we'll have plenty of clear cut chances to put away.

JRM Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Leicester got lucky, Spurs were incredibly wasteful, could have been out of sight if they took their chances. By the end was a relief that Leicester only got a point and not all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The most Spursy of all spursy games. Son seems to have lost his way. Gray when he came on looked out of his depth but the other 18 year old is going to be some player ( I know he got caught on the ball but) Solanke was as I had expected, nearly there. Vardy is a horrid player but he still is in the right place. Spurs should have scored 4 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Bournemouth just got denied a last minute winner for the ball hitting the top of the shoulder rather than the arm. Newcastle’s Joelinton then clotheslined the Bournemouth keeper off the ball to stop a counter attack and only got a yellow. Then a Bournemouth coaching staff member got sent off for protesting the decision. VAR is wonderful I was incensed just watching it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a substantial bet on Charlton to be promoted. He's no mug, sound bet imo. I'm not sure we ever had a chance to judge his actual football management. We were so busy watching him self destruct, we never really got that far. He should have stayed at Luton. Too soon to move to Saints and dreadful environment for him. Plus he came across a bit mental which didn't help. Edited August 25 by macca155 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc4prem Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Bragg did OK defensively as a sweeping CDM, filling pockets of defensive space and making a few tackles. He played a lovely one-two and burst into the box before having his cross cleared for a corner, just before half-time. Promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat my local team in the first round (sorry to be MLG) and since the opening day horror show they’ve drawn at home to Hull and again at in-form QPR with 10 men most of the game and tonight’s opponents are top of the league. So getting better but Rooney needs that first league win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
